After prepping with Cleansing Oil, Hydrating Face Tonic,
Hydrating Oil Gel and Eye Cream, George brushes on foundation and
covers up my bags. And just so you know, I've got big bags. Sacks,
actually.

But these magically disappear under George's talented hand. She
smooths a light bisque-coloured corrector under my eyes and then
layers this with ivory concealer. The result? Well, suddenly, you'd
never know I've spent a lot of the past seven years on
nightshift.

Following this, I'm perked up by desert rose blusher and bronzer
and given eyes that smoulder in a maybe-I'm-a-delicate-forest-fairy
way, rather than a come-hither-to-my-boudoir smoke.

I don't want to look like I'm in the chorus line but, equally, a
lick of mascara won't cut the mustard either. George listens to my
garbled attempts to explain how I envisage my wedding face and
delivers a beauty.

As well as knowing the products I'm going to use will definitely
suit me, George gives me tips on how to apply my make up.

For example, want to know how to do retro-style eyeliner that
flicks up perfectly? Draw a straight line across your eye, then put
a cotton bud into the corner of your eye, pull it up diagonally and
there you have a perfect flick. Just like that. Wow.

So, with what feels like very little effort, my slap is sorted.
Next stop, hair.
